@Spiral Wizard I disagree with him. I’ve stopped masturbating for about 6 months. There was no difference in my spiritual progress or my health. In fact, masturbation is a good replacement to sex for the serious spiritual student. Instead of wasting your time with girls, just jerk off and focus your time on meditation and spiritual progress. There’s a reason why most monks are celibate.

Fapping prevents the human male from making stupid decisions, therefore it is a great tool to always have by his side.

He's just salty that he isn't getting as many chicks as us.

I think what he meant it is you  can have benefits if you know how to use that energy, it for sure can be worse if you are just suppressing it, as well as it changes your whole being , which can make it harder for you to access certain areas and easier to access other.

I want to discuss his point when he says that sex should be on the periphery of life.

Well, can sex ever not be on the periphery of life? In my experience, it's like food. At some point you will have enough of it you will not want it anymore until you feel hungry again. I don't know about other people, but how much of the day can anyone spend on pornographic material? Like for real, the most I can make it is to a couple of hours every few days, but that's it. So, it is always on the periphery, just like food. Unless you idolize it somehow, it is always peripheral. Even if you do idolize it and you're some kind of freak, how many hours can you invest in masturbation? At some point, the penis itself will get disgusted and tell you to stop. Jeez!

Besides, I don't think he's addressing the core of the problem with his view. It seems rather superficial and judgemental to me. The real question is that why do people resort to pornography in the first place? And what can we make as a society to help people with sex obsession? After all, there must be a reason why porn is so appealing to most males. And it's certainly not because they're filthy animals who just want to screw around with their time and energy. Maybe the lack of a healthier alternative (natural sex) is what makes the easier ways more palpable. Maybe there are other systemic problems that are even deeper than and at the root of providing the healthier alternative.

Ejaculation is bad. You waste a lot of life-energy in your system to replace your wasted semen. Actually you waste LIFE and your body has to replace it, and it taxes your body a lot. I mean when you start to notice it its like damn. You can feel the body is sucking energy even from your bones. Actually when teenagers start to fap their grades in school drop because ejaculation hits the mind very much. There is a spiritual master "Mantak Chia" he talks a lot about this in his work. He got tons and tons of videos on youtube. Its also very crucial that you master your sex energies and raise them up with practices such as "The big pull". Try not to ejaculate for a couple of weeks you will feel so much better, try to get past the urge to cum. You will notice increased creativity, energy levels and happiness. Actually when I ejaculate the next few days I feel like im stoned, I feel less interest in doing things and after 3 days of no ejaculation I can feel im getting better, sharper, more creative, which for me, as Im quite aware about these things, is important.

Actually when you start to learn about sexual energy thats like a new field that opens up. And Im not even talking about tantric sex which is fucking amazing and does increase consciousness.

If only they knew ?

So much potential wasted in billions of tissues everyday ??

The question is: why sex is so problematic? It seems that women and men are so different and that's why sex is a ploblem. Honestly, when most of guys are 13 or 14 years old, if they could, they have sex every day, with a lot of different girls, but the reality is that it's almost impossible for most or them, so at the end we get a tired arm and get sick because seeing tons of porn. Is it a natural difference between men an women, or social? Maybe a mix...for me it's a big problem of our society. Sex isn't only biological, as shadguru said, is a spiritual communication. I thing it isn't good at all to avoid sex

There is a fine line between overindulgence and repression. Balance is key.

Nofap is just one mode of living. You can have rationalizations and justifications for whether it’s right or wrong. It becomes an attachment either way.

Just live your life.
